Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 536: Putting on an Act

“Guan Guan.” Le Cheng Emperor was both excited and eager, yet also careful and timid, possibly also having a bit of dissatisfaction towards the Imperial Noble Consort for noticing her son and daughter-in-law first thing and not him. However, this last bit actually wasn’t obvious. He himself probably all didn’t notice, but it didn’t mean that others won’t notice.

You, a murderer, in front of the ‘deceased’, never mind not having the least bit of remorse and guilt, to even be unhappy because the other party didn’t look to you first? It’s not like it was loving you to the bone, still thinking of after dying for so many years. Even if true love, unless broken in the head, otherwise after getting personally killed by you, who would still have you placed first? Truthfully speaking, even if placing first, that should still be because of hatred. To not directly pounce over in the first moment and break your neck, it can be said to be very much giving face already.

The Imperial Noble Consort turned her head, quietly staring at Le Cheng Emperor. And Le Cheng Emperor who originally had his hand lifted, probably wanting to touch her, directly froze under her stare, increasingly uncomfortable, and the excitement in his eyes dyed with a different color, “Guan, Guan Guan.” His lips squirmed, his hand trembling.

The Imperial Noble Consort curtsied, “Your Majesty.” Her bearing outstanding, that movement still like a textbook example.

Le Cheng Emperor subconsciously reached out to support her, yet failed, his hand directly passing through the Imperial Noble Consort’s arm. Le Cheng Emperor blanked, his expression instantly becoming empty, looking to the Imperial Noble Consort, seemingly still not realizing what happened.

However, while Le Cheng Emperor reacted as such, Jing Wan clearly saw the Imperial Noble Consort pull back the hand that got ‘touched’, her other hand seamlessly brushing over. It can be seen, towards Le Cheng Emperor’s approach, even if not actually touching, she still quite disliked. Presumably, if not considering for Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan, she perhaps would’ve done it more obviously.

Jing Wan’s understanding towards the Imperial Noble Consort all came from other people’s mouth. That was someone that was all kinds of good, good looking, good tempered, good bearing, and her heart also good. All in all, it was just perfect in every way. Just, looking at it now, it seemingly wasn’t the case. Then again, even people made of mud would all have three part earth attribute. Being good tempered didn’t mean that one didn’t have a temper, and the Imperial Noble Consort wasn’t a saint, so how could she not have the slightest negative emotions towards the person that forcibly possessed her and killed her. In the Imperial Noble Consort’s heart, hating that she can’t chop up Le Cheng Emperor would all be very normal, so loathing and whatnot, truly was too light.

Of course, can’t rule out another possibility, and that was just towards her own life and death, the Imperial Noble Consort completely didn’t care. Based on this bit, towards the Le Cheng Emperor that killed her, she didn’t have much hatred. However, the Imperial Noble Consort had died before her child was born. That’s why, majority of her hatred came from here. Regardless of how much Le Cheng Emperor favors Li Hong Yuan afterwards, he still nevertheless deprived him of the most important thing. Women can not have ambitions for themselves, but absolutely won’t allow their own child to get disgraced.

That’s why, for the Imperial Noble Consort to be able to maintain her current state, it absolutely won’t be because of a tranquil mentality. It can only be that she has already reached the state of not exposing her emotions on the surface. Then again, although the Imperial Noble Consort died young, and regardless whether it was the Pei family in the past, or Le Cheng Emperor afterwards, it can be said that they all had her sheltered quite well, but the things she should learn, she didn’t learn any less of. Moreover, in the later decade, being with Shu Consort Qin, she certainly will be influenced by Shu Consort Qin quite a bit. In the imperial harem, the most powerful women, there were three, not two.

Thus, it would be strange for the Imperial Noble Consort to still not have any thoughts and means.

“Guan Guan”

The Imperial Noble Consort lightly smiled, “Your Majesty, the time in which this consort can appear for isn’t long. Once this consort finish speaking with Yuan’er and his wife, this consort will then chat with your Majesty.” Shortly after, she just directly looked towards Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan. It was obvious, she was just informing Le Cheng Emperor, and not asking for his approval. Even if offending Le Cheng Emperor, the Imperial Noble Consort clearly won’t care. She was already dead, so where would she still have that many misgivings. However, the Imperial Noble Consort who originally had thousands of words, this while, didn’t know what to say to her son, her gaze landing on Jing Wan, “I know Wan Wan is a good child. For Yuan’er to be able to marry you, it is his good fortune, only wishing for you two to be able to walk forward hand in hand, neither leaving nor abandoning.” Shortly after, she looked towards Li Hong Yuan again, “Consort mother never once fulfilled a single day of duty as a mother. It’s consort mother that’s sorry to you. But, saying these now, what use is there? That’s why, consort mother only wish for everything to be well for you.” The Imperial Noble Consort paused, smiling, “Alright, why don’t you two go out first, while I chat with your imperial father.”

Li Hong Yuan didn’t say anything, glancing at the Imperial Noble Consort, “This son will take one’s leave.” Shortly after, he directly took Jing Wan who wasn’t able to greet in time and left.

And after going out, Jing Wan saw Grandmaster Liao Chen twirling the buddhist beads and looking to the sky, not even knowing when this ‘great psychic medium’ came out. However, other people’s ‘family reunion’ indeed was none of his business.

Right now, Jing Wan also didn’t have any desire to speak, glancing inside from time to time.

This place, at this very moment, appeared very quiet. Even the imperial guards, as well as the eunuchs by Le Cheng Emperor’s side, all were relatively far away.

Li Hong Yuan reached out, his palm sticking to Jing Wan’s face, slightly exerting strength, letting her look towards him, “Just this curious?”

TN: All

Jing Wan awkwardly smiled, “Quite want to know what they’re talking about.” Well, they were ‘husband and wife’, even though there was still a layer of hatred, but Le Cheng Emperor didn’t think this.

“What else can be said, merely just mutually confiding in one another, then promising to be together in the next life, nothing more than this.”

At first, Jing Wan still wanted to refute, but when he finished, Jing Wan just understood his meaning. For the Imperial Noble Consort, pouring out the feelings from the heart was fake, while letting Le Cheng Emperor feel guilty and suffer was real.

And her inherent goal was still earning more benefits for her son. To loudly argue and cause a scene at this time, digging into Le Cheng Emperor’s various faults, that was the most stupid thing to do.

For the sake of her son, the Imperial Noble Consort was willing to feign civility and put on an act.
